For a reliable workhorse of a photocopier, I would lean towards Konica Minolta

Heidelberg will sell the Prinect Production Manager as a separate module to replace Prepress Interface, we did get a quote from them when the hardware (Win XP with parallel port dongle) eventually failed. The price was prohibitive, so I have moved our Prepress interface onto a Win XP VM with a...

We have no adjustments available at the front end in Prinergy - see screenshot Press characteristic curves are applied at the press side, in our case using Heidelberg Prepress Interface It is possible to set ink zone number and size prepress side, but PPI also sets that at the press size. That's...

No, definitely no wave, I have the book right in front of me, there's a slight lift on the cover due to the lamination.

Virtually every commercial printer in the world is printing books on toner based machines without any issues of curling or wavy stock in the finished product. We have been printing books for over 30 years, our first toner based machine was a Xerox Docutech, we now have an Indigo digital press...

Cost per page is significantly higher for desktop printers than commercial equipment, once you calculate the cost of toner, paper and other supplies, I am quite sure your cost per book will be higher than using a print on demand service. You may want to look into this company for your book...

We send PDFs (impose PDFs from Prinergy) to the Fiery on our Ricoh 9200 all day long. The only issues we have had are, the Fiery doesn't always honour overprints correctly, meaning we have to strip out Prinergy's trapping and re-trap on the Fiery (Indigo has no problem with Prinergy trapping)...

Here in Australia, back in the days before GST, when sales tax was payable at the last wholesale point of sale, artwork, typesetting etc including film negatives or positives were none taxable as they were considered to be an aid to production, therefore not sold to the customer. As a result, we...

No, it doesn't affect every printer in the world, only those who are trying to get by without a proper workflow. Perhaps it's time to move on to a DFE which will impose, separate, screen and output your files and give you much more control than you get by printing separations from a desktop...

Are you reading density from the plate or the printed sheet? The latent image on a DoP (Develop on Press) plate may not accurately reflect the value of the image on the exposed emulsion. Best practice is to read the image on a printed sheet with exactly the same paper and press conditions for...

You're quite correct, my brain somehow was thinking 340% instead of 240%, of course the recommended TAC for coated paper on heatset is 300%

240% is pushing the limit for heatset web. Too much ink can literally cause a fire in some cases.

Just add 40% cyan behind the solid black areas

I believe this is the same feeder as the Ryobi 52DI. We used to have one of these, but none of the operators are still here. Our machine was purchased through Cyber who are the Ryobi agents in this region, you may have more luck contacting them, RMGT or GSNA http://www.cyber.com.sg/index...

Once there's an image on the blanket, technically you could damage a specific area because you can see where on the blanket that section of image is being transferred.

This sounds like a tinfoil hat conspiracy theory, if you had physical access to the machine, yes, of course you could hit the blanket with a hammer, but as soon as the pressroom foreman saw it, he would stop the run and ask the operators to replace the blanket, so such sabotage would most likely...

The Magnus 400 reached end of service life on 1st January this year Kodak will no longer provide parts or service on these machines. You may be able to purchase a donor machine for spare parts at a low price.

I was referring to the method by which they are mounted rather than the structure of the blanket material.

This should give you some idea of what a newspaper press blanket looks like, they are quite different to a sheetfed offset blanket Goss Blanket change
